They are painting them. I've been wanting to do mine just haven't had time to do it. I've been remodeling my restroom and it has taken up all my spare time. I'm almost done and should be getting on painting my engine cover soon.

Here's my thread from when I got mine painted. Oh, and don't get cheap "auto-store" paint. I notice you have a matador red mica car, and that paint is too beautiful to mismatch. I've you plan on color-matching your engine cover to your car, make sure you spring for the good stuff and match the paint code from your door sill.

man your guys covers look awesome ........

And yeah I won't get the cheap paint, I am having my front bumper fixed this coming up weekend so I will have them mix up some extra paint when they make it for the bumper so I can do the cover the same color as the car

Oh and my tint is 13% all the way around.......and windsheild is 42%
